Chapter Ten:
Wedding Plans And A Potential Heart Attack
The next two months were full of wedding plans, parenting, visits from friends, and so on. Naruto and Sasuke couldn't have been happier with their, now, busier then ever lives. All the while Kiseki seemed to be enjoying himself greatly with all the people his parents know visiting every day. He was smiling more than ever and would laugh at just about anything.
Kiseki was also starting to move around on his own, well trying to at least. Sasuke and Naruto enjoyed watching their son try to move around all on his own. Actually Kiseki had learned to roll and scared the hell out of Naruto one day. Sasuke was out at the time, last minute wedding details that needed taking care of, and Naruto stayed home with Kiseki. Naruto went into the kitchen to get a bottle for Kiseki, his son laying on a big blanket in the middle of the living room. When Naruto came back from the kitchen Kiseki was gone.
Naturally Naruto panicked. He searched high and low for his son only to find that he had rolled under the coffee table. Naruto scooped Kiseki into his arms, crying. That is when Sasuke came through the front door. He was about to say hello to Naruto when he noticed his blonde was crying, Kiseki in his arms. Now it was Sasuke's turn to panic, thinking something horrible had happened. He rushed over to Naruto and looked at his fiancé and son.
Kiseki looked up at Sasuke and smiled at his father. Sasuke was really confused now. He lifted Naruto's head so he could see into his eyes. Sasuke wiped Naruto's tears away before speaking to his blonde.
"Naruto what happened?"
"I-I went in-into the kitchen to g-get his b-b-bottle and when I came b-back he wasn't there!" Naruto managed to say between sobs.
"Wasn't there? Naruto what…?"
"He rolled under the coffee table where I couldn't see him!" Naruto rushed out.
Sasuke took the blonde into his arms in an attempt to calm him down. He rocked Naruto back and forth, feeling the panic slip away from the blonde. After a few minutes Naruto had finally calmed down. Sasuke wiped away the remainder of Naruto's tears and kissed him gently. Naruto smiled up at him and then looked down at Kiseki. Naruto sighed and spoke to his son.
"Don't you ever do that to me again Kiseki."
Kiseki looked right into Naruto's eyes and smiled. Naruto kissed his forehead causing him to laugh. Sasuke then took Kiseki from Naruto and helped his blonde stand up. He gave Naruto a kiss on his head before speaking again.
"Naruto, why don't you go lay down for a while? You haven't been sleeping well lately. While you rest I'll take care of Kiseki and any visitors alright?"
Naruto thought for a moment as Kiseki yawned and began to doze off. Naruto smiled at him and then looked at Sasuke.
"I think Kiseki and I both need a rest." Naruto giggled slightly.
Sasuke kissed Naruto on his lips before responding.
"I think so too."
With that Sasuke walked Naruto to their room, Kiseki still in his arms. As Naruto climbed into their bed Sasuke laid Kiseki in his crib, covering him with his blanket. Sasuke gently stroked his son 's head smiling at how adorable he is. After that he walked over to Naruto, who was now laying in their bed. He crawled up to his fiancé and lay beside him. He stroked Naruto's cheek causing his blonde to blush cutely.
Naruto leaned forward and kissed Sasuke. He then licked Sasuke's bottom lip, inviting his lover out to play. Sasuke opened his mouth and their tongue's came together in a swirling dance. Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck as Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist. They made out for a few minutes before they heard a knock on the front door.
Sasuke broke their kiss and sighed. He kissed Naruto, a quick peck, on his lips once again.
"Get some sleep okay?"
"Yeah."
The couple smiled at each other before Sasuke left their bedroom, heading for the front door. Sasuke answered the door and there stood Shikamaru, Chouji, and Kiba.
"Hey you guys, what's up?"
"Not much Uchiha. So where's Naruto and Kiseki?" Kiba asked.
"Actually they're both sleeping now." Sasuke answered.
"Sleeping? Why is Naruto sleeping?" Chouji asked, curious.
"Naruto hasn't been sleeping well for a while now. Do you guys want to come in?"
Sasuke stood to the side, allowing his guest entry into the house. He closed the front door and followed his guests to the living room. Before he sat down with his friends though, Sasuke went to his and Naruto's bedroom. He peaked in and saw Naruto was fast asleep, as was Kiseki. He smiled to himself and closed the door quietly. Sasuke went back downstairs and sat with his friends.
"So how come Naruto hasn't been sleeping well?" Shikamaru asked quietly.
"He's been…well…since he got out of the hospital he hasn't slept well. He wakes up all through out the night checking on Kiseki."
"Hmmmm, my mom said she used to do that with me when I was a baby. When I asked her why she just said she had new mom syndrome or what ever." Shikamaru stated.
"Care to explain that more?" Sasuke, Chouji, and Kiba asked in unison.
"Ah, fine. My mom said that being a new mom and all, she was nervous about not waking up if I cried for her so she just kept waking up through out the night to check on me."
"So that's it." Sasuke stated, " Naruto's worried about Kiseki needing him and not hearing it if Kiseki cries out for him."
"Yeah that's pretty much it." Shikamaru responded.
"Naruto's okay though right? I mean he's not sick or over stressed or anything?" Kiba asked.
"No Kiba. He's just worried." Sasuke said.
The guys stayed and talked with Sasuke for a few hours and then left when it was getting dark. Naruto had been sleeping for three hours now and Sasuke was glad. It was now nine thirty and Sasuke headed up to bed. As he entered the bedroom he saw Naruto's sleeping form curled up. Sasuke put his pajamas on and, careful not to disturb the sleeping blonde, crawled into bed beside his sleeping lover.
Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto, holding him close. He kissed his blonde's cheek causing Naruto to roll around so he was now facing Sasuke. Still asleep, Naruto cuddled up to Sasuke, a light smile gracing his lips. Sasuke held him close, inhaling the blonde's scent while slowly drifting off into a peaceful slumber.
